page 6 the georgetown herald wednesday evening october 25th 1939 i our farm cage items of interest to every farmer interesting outline early agriculture the cctual beginning of agriculture tn canada cannot be stated definitely as crude attempts at cultivation by the native indians were reported by the earliest recorded visitors to the country writes dr o s h barton deputy minister dominion depart ment of agriculture in the 1939 can ada year book jaques cartler in 1535 reported that the indians around hochelaga at the foot of mount roy al where montreal now stands wore cultivating small patches of land for the proquctlon of malse the huron ihiani living in the area close to lake huron and georgian bay are al so reportedto have been growing com peas and beans when first visited by the white adventurers since the arrival of the first french colonists in acadia canadian agricul ture has gone through several rather distinct stages the early settlements in the maritime provinces and que bec with comparatively slow develop ment until 1750 from 1750 to 1850 set tlement of upper and lower canada was in full swing and agricultural growth was steady it not rapid after confederation and the completion of the canadian pacific railway in 1888 the development of western canada was rapid and agriculture in eastern canada went through a period of re adjustment in the light of develop ment in the western provinces historical information dealing with the first period ot settlement ls found chiefly in the reports of early visitors to the country and early records of settlement schemes the first recor ded white settlement in canada was at port royal now annftnnlis nova scotia by a group or french pioneers in 160o here the settlers cleared and cultivated small plots of land on which they grew maize pumpkins and beans cows were brought out by poutrin court in 1606 the first real farmer is said to have been louis hebert who started farming in 1617 on the site of what is now quebec otj

vanguard appears to be parti cularly wen adapted are now fairly vtell known by the cereal division of ficials m ottawa who are alwavs glad to assist farmers m coming o a de cision us to the variety they should choose erban originated at the ontario agricultural college from a cross be tween early ripe and banner it ls recommended for districts in eastern canada where tear rust rather than stem rust is liable to occur it is not resistant however to the forms of leaf rust which occur in the prairie provinces from a jield standpoint erban vanguard and victory are much in the same general class in most districts in non rust vears but where leaf rust is a serious factor erban has proven definitely superior since these varieties arc of very now time to buy certified potatoes egg dealers fined

growers of seed potatoes throughout canada who have good seed crops have to sacrifice the major part of their crop as table pot atoes tn the autumn on account ol a poor domestic market for seed al that season of the year those who are situated near the atlantic seaboard can usually dispose of a good percen tage of their crop to fill the keen ex- port demand tor certified seed but it is just as necessary for the other seed growers to sell at least a part of their crop to help tide them over the winter according to john tucker chief in- spector plant diseases dominion de partment of agriculture it would aid i the seed potato industry very materi- ally and incidentally afford the com mercial potato growers the opportunity to get some of the best seed at reas onable prices if a practice of buying eed in the early autumn when the seed ls more plentiful and cheap were adopted the seed growers too who had fields which barely made the grade for cer u flea i ion this year should be on the lookout now for supplies of disease- free foundation seed of the highest quality such seed is very limited in quantity ind is usually snapped up quickly by the export buyers good loundauon
